Is it possible, using Design Accelerator to have Bevel Gears with straight teeth? I've tried every combo I can think of, and they are always curved teeth. Gears are not my most knowledgeable subject. I usually have the engineers produce the specs, & I get to draw them - they are not happy with the pictorial results.

Thanks in advance.
Would you mind sharing the answer? I have pondered this too... The higherarchy here does not like the said pictoral results of a helical gear either.
tks!
By setting the Helix angle to 0 degrees - accepting the error messages that pop up & continue. The gears/teeth are generated & seem pictorially satisfactory. I wouldn't pass it on to a CNC without lots of notes, though. I was trying to put the pitch angle as the helix angle & that's what screwed me up.
